Question

What causes a meteor shower?
Large asteroids entering Earth's atmosphere____ Stars ____. The tiny pieces of dust left behind by a comet.

Answer 1

Answer:

Meteor showers occur when the earth in its orbit around the Sun passes through debris left over from the disintegration of comets. When the earth intersects this orbit in its annual trip, it can run into this debris, which burns up on entry into the earth's atmosphere, producing a visible shower of meteors.
